With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era.
After the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol, McConnell issued a grave rebuke of Trump’s behavior, blaming the defeated president for spreading “wild” claims of a stolen election.
While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.
McConnell
With my dying breath I support trump!
Moscow Mitch.
Moscow’s Bitch
Its funny, because he’s been a vocal advocate of Ukraine military aid spending, too.
Dude just wants to see a good game between two enthusiastic participants, it seems.
He hates this name. I try to use it when I refer to him. Any vote for Trump is a vote for a stronger Russia and a weaker US, as I’m sure most of you know.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t. If he stands with Trump and Trump wins, he might be in good graces and the MAGA folks don’t harass him. If Trump loses, well the Democrats aren’t going to care and the usual party cannibalism that follows political losses will have less reason to direct their ire in his direction.
This is in his best interests; same as always.
What a little bitch
Moscow Mitch’s senility is neck and neck with Trump’s dementia
McConnell knows exactly what he’s doing. He is a true sociopath. He does not care about anyone, or anything except power, and money. He’s done more damage to US democracy than any other politician who has ever lived. He is truly evil.
After a little thought, this doesn’t surprise me at all.
Name me ONE other Republican candidate that’s actually gotten a decent number of articles about them in national newspapers. They’ve run into the exact same problem as the Tories: They’ve kicked anyone who’s actually a competent and charismatic public servant out of the party, because said people were getting in the way of their ability to enact unbelievably stupid racism upon the nation.
And unless you have Trump-level skills at grabbing headlines and becoming a problem that makes itself worse… Well, how the hell are you going to become a relevant force that people are going to vote for, when you have no charisma, no skills, and no ability to compete with Trump for headlines? Even that Florida governor who manged to stay in the news for a few months for his racism couldn’t keep up with Trump’s unending torrent of bullshit and new stories for long, and if you can’t keep up, I can’t imagine republican voters would throw in with you over your competitor.
McConnel is unfortunately making the most competent move he can for someone that wants to cling to power at any cost (especially cost to the american public): Endorsing someone who’ll avoid splitting the vote and actually killing the Republican party.
I am shocked, SHOCKED, that Mitch McConnell turned out to be morally bankrupt.
Well, not that shocked.
Shell shocked, perhaps?
Grass is green, sky is blue, water is wet, McConnell is a traitor
We’re are now entering the banana republic stage of late-stage capitalism
What a good little lap dog he is. Doing exactly what he’s told to do.
Trump will dump his ass on the street like the whore he is.
T**** just forced him out as Republicunt senate leader. I was not really expecting an endorsement, Bitch seemed to loathe him. Maybe he demanded both, lol.
Gonna be fun to watch them all get on their knees and kiss the ring, only for him to lose again. Hope Biden sends some real firepower to their second coup attempt.
Fucking traitor
Mitch McConnell: A real piece of shit, through and through!
During the transition, AOC got a lot of right-wing attention for saying all the supportive Trump tweets and comments should be backed up so these asshats couldn’t pretend they never supported the man. She was quickly proved right as a lot of them started distancing from Trump, and now we see the additional reversal as they try to weasel their way back into his camp.

The problem with AOC’s strategy is that it only works when Trump is more unpopular than her team’s candidate.
But also, yes. Chuds will come up with literally any excuse to wild out on AOC.

There’s a certain depth to the right-wing media rabbit hole, such that you simply won’t hear any kind of dissent or opposition. You’re not allowed in the Members Only Club if we catch you talking shit about the Club Boss.
So yeah, she can have a stack of receipts a mile high. But nobody’s going to be reading them on OAN or Rumble or during the The Dan Bongino Show.
The United States Republican Party is always there to remind me that at least 1/3 of humans are still no better than scared, shit flinging apes. Maybe this is our species’s next genetic bottleneck.
Narrator: McConnell thought he was endorsing a “Turnip”, which reminded him of himself.
